Spurs goalkeeper Hugo Lloris open to MLS transfer… days after Inter Miami owner David Beckham watched him in action
TOTTENHAM goalkeeper Hugo Lloris has admitted he is open to a move to the MLS - just days after Inter Miami owner David Beckham watched him in action.
The French stopper, 32, has claimed he is interested in winding down his career in the USA - no doubt putting star-hunting Becks on red alert.
His Inter Miami team are keen to bring in as many big names as their salary cap will allow, with Beckham already speaking to Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez.
Beckham had already seen Lloris in action as he was in attendance at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the win over Crystal Palace last weekend.
Speaking about a potential move in the coming months, Lloris claimed: "I do not think I'm going to finish [my career] at Tottenham.
"I still have a few years ahead of me. In any case, I will do everything to make the most of it.
"You also have to know when to say stop at the right time, but I'm not against the idea of discovering something new.
"That could be the United States. I do not know, I always had trouble looking in the medium term. I am more focused on the short term.
"In football, things go so fast. We are here tomorrow and after that we're elsewhere. You have to be careful.
"I could finish over there [MLS], we'll see."
LOYAL TO SPURS
Lloris also opened up about his loyalty to Spurs - having stood by the club since 2012, despite their trophy-less run.
"I never really opened the doors [to the idea of leaving] because I felt like I was happy where I was.
"It's not a lack of ambition on my part, it's just that I'm part of a project and, every year I've seen the progress to reinforce my decision.
"If tomorrow I felt there was a regression, certainly I'd then ask the question [about leaving].
"[Mauricio Pochettino] has shown a lot of loyalty to Tottenham. He's invested 200 per cent in the club and its supporters.

“The thing that has to change is for us to win a major trophy. We had this opportunity in the Champions League, we were also not far off in the Premier League.
"But there is regularity, the club is competitive. I can tell the difference between the state of the club the day I arrived and today.
"The club has evolved at an incredible speed."
